"And what about you, Elder of the Mountain Dwarf Clan?"
The elder, upon hearing this, paled slightly—though outwardly he maintained a neutral expression, hiding his thoughts as he cursed internally.
What is this fool talking about? Asking me to drag my entire clan into a conflict he himself isn't even sure they can win in the end?
The elder knew this wasn't worth it at all…
He took a moment to think about what he should say!!
While he knew he couldn't agree to what Flexi had proposed—even if additional benefits were offered—he also understood what those "benefits" would be. Raising his eyes toward Flexi, he knew they would only speak of the Holy Region in principle!!
And thinking about the Alchemy Association… they might very well accept it!! After all, the Holy Region held more value than anything the Star Empire could offer!!
So even if he agreed, whatever he would be promised was something not yet realized—and only if they succeeded would he or his clan ever receive it!!
